BALIPORTALNEWS.COM, BADUNG – Bali Beans Coffee & Co. successfully held an exclusive cupping session with international coffee expert Willem Boot on May 20-21, 2026 at Bali Beans Umalas and Bali Beans Plantation. This activity is not only a place to taste specialty coffee, but also an educational and collaborative space to encourage a more sustainable future of the Indonesian coffee industry through sustainable coffee farming practices and direct trade.
The event, which was attended by local coffee farmers, the coffee community, the media, and specialty coffee lovers, highlighted the importance of building a coffee farming system that not only produces the best quality, but also maintains the health of farmers, soil, water, and the surrounding environment. Bali Beans Coffee & Co. affirms its commitment to reducing the use of harmful chemicals in the coffee cultivation process by introducing more natural, safe, and environmentally friendly farming methods.
The spirit of "reduce chemicals, use natural methods" is one of the main messages in the activity. "We want our coffee farmers to be able to work and breathe healthier without being exposed to too much chemicals.
We believe that coffee farming can be something more interesting, modern, sustainable, and proud for the next generation," said the Bali Beans Coffee & Co team. In the discussion session, Willem Boot also shared insights on the importance of direct trade relations between farmers and buyers. According to him, direct trade patterns are able to create transparency, maintain consistency in coffee quality, while improving the welfare of local farmers.
Through a direct trade approach, Bali Beans Coffee & Co. seeks to build direct relationships with farmers without a long distribution chain. This step is considered to be able to provide more value to the quality of coffee while supporting the economic sustainability of the local community. A warm and vibrant atmosphere colors the entire series of events. The discussions between the local coffee community and the global perspective of specialty coffee became an inspiring collaborative space that reinforced the view that coffee is not just about taste, but also about people, culture, nature, and a better future for agriculture.
The success of this activity is part of Bali Beans Coffee & Co.'s long-term commitment to developing an authentic farm-to-cup experience, supporting local farmers, while strengthening Bali's position as one of the sustainable and world-class specialty coffee destinations. (*/bpn)
